I've got MMM going in the background, they've been doing little tributes all day.

I thought he was older, damn shame

I saw a tweet earlier today (apologies to the author but I can't find it now) that went along the lines of "The tallest tree in the forest has fallen". Says it all for me.

A true self made man. Some may consider them untrustworthy, you only have to look at the quality of the musicians and other people he had contact with, who praise the bloke to see that's bullshit.

Sad. Died in his sleep at 68. Young. We all seemed to know him. Popular and commercial music had a big reach and influence when we were younger.

So we can't get through two praccy matches without more injury carnage... Sadly, this isn't even remotely surprising. :(

This must be Steele's first soft-tissue injury of his career. Father time calling?

It might be time for a poll on whether Nicksters believe our club has bad injury management. Expect more tired excuses about it "not being soft tissue", etc. But do people really believe you can have ten years of "bad luck"?

Vale Pierre Baroni

Post by roar »

Long time PBS presenter and Melbourne Soul DJ legend, Pierre Baroni passed away a couple of days ago after an 18 month battle with cancer.

His program, Soulgroove 66, aired on Saturdays 3-5pm, and was an absolute treasure of entertainment and information, covering Soul and RnB from the 50s to today. Saturday afternoons just won't be the same.

R.I.P. Soul Brother.

That’s so sad. He ran one of the many excellent shows on PBS. He sounded reasonably young. I’ve subscribed to his programme before. Terrible news.

Pendlebury was quoted blaming Howe's injury for the club failing last year. :shock:

It's okay, as long as he doesn't really believe it...

At the start of the season, the Pies were playing some of their best footy ever, Pendles said. But IIRC Howe was injured late in a game that we were about to lose...

I guess that means the truth is he was completely injury-free (except possibly psychologically).

James and Murray were a fantastic double act. He knew his stuff and knew how to communicate it. One of the greats.

So sad. Vale indeed. His version of “Dear Prudence” takes me back, ‘‘twas a ripper.

What’s all this euphemistic stuff about dying peacefully in their sleep? (Parkinson and Gudinski) ??
